1061  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Who you betting on? on: August 14, 2023, 02:24:21 AM
Zucker already said that if there is something to have been agreed, it should come from him and not from Elon.
Elon continues to keep playing around he's going to be the villain between here. He kept getting away with such stunts when he could just say no to this fight. Since he keeps doing it, he really enjoys the attention.

On the other hand, Twitter is still more fun to use than Threads. I think that's more of a reason for him doing this.

He updated it even more:



This pretty much summarizes the attitude difference between musk and zuck. For Zuck this is about mma as a sport. He knows where he stands, he is a beginner and moving up by doing the work. And he knows that this event or sport wouldn't be about him and would like to move a spotlight to actual fighting experts. While Elon focuses on getting the attention and taking the credit for himself. And i can't believe i got to a point i am rooting for Zuck


Was this how it started? It appears Elon wants to go in Zuckerburg's gym and challenge him there, very much similar to those very old kungfu movies hehehehe. This is a screenshot of a text exchange between them. It is not confirmed to be from Elon or Zuck, however. It might be fake.



To have the fight outside of the UFC, Elon can say that he will not support people who slap their wives in public heheheheheee.

CZ is very lucky to be in a jurisdiction that is as friendly as El Salvador and with a president who is very progressive like Nayib Bukele. I reckon some there might be maximalists who hate CZ will certainly be annoyed by this news hehehe. It is also head shaking that these type of people would support uncle Gary's crackdown on the cryptospace because of this hate.
1063  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - November on: August 12, 2023, 06:16:54 AM
@Lanatsa. Pacman is not being a traitor against his own countrymen. In the ambush interview, what Pacman told the interviewer was he wanted to help Inoue and teach him his secrets on how he carried his strength, speed, power and stamina when he has fighting in higher weight divisions. He wants everyone to witness someone greater than him in boxing, I reckon.

I thought Pacman is only willing to help if in case Inoue will move up to other divisions again? Anyways, Pacman once again was caught in another ambush interview during the Crawford-Spence event, the legend mentioned Crawford as the new #1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world replacing Inoue but he also said that Inoue remains his favorite guy. https://www.facebook.com/IFLTV/videos/617315163875941

Meanwhile, according to a local source, Team Tapales is not happy with Naoya Inoue's offers. And just a few days ago, 3 division champion Johnreil Casimero started training again in his town. Casimero looked very heavy at the moment so hopefully, he continues his light training as he might be Inoue's next opponent late this year. It could be that Tapales is not happy with the money presented on the table but it is possible that both sides are bluffing at this early stage of their negotiations. Tapales if he won't face Inoue next might face a mandatory either from the WBA or the IBF. A rematch against former champion Morudjon Akhmadaliev for the WBA mandatory or IBF's mandatory Sam Goodan of Australia might be a high-risk low reward for Tapales should he not come to an agreement with Inoue.

Yes I am quite certain Pacman offered his services if will move up to a heavier weight division again. However, if he was telling the interviewer that he would help in Inoue's training for the fight against Tapales, I would be very skeptical this heheheh. I might put money on Tapales hehhehee.

On Tapales not happy with team Inoue's offer, this is part of negotiations. The team of Tapales knows that Inoue needs the IBF and WBA championships because the Japanese boxer is chasing history.

On Inoue vs. Casimero, if the money is not enough, I reckon Inoue will chase history again and challenge the champions in featherweight.

It also appears everyone has forgotten that we have another sexy fighting kitten in this card and she is the underdog. She is Polyana Viana and she likes cosplay and sharing pictures of herself in onlyfans.com hehe.

My prediction, she will win with a knockout or with an armbar.

1065  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: SEC signals appeal to XRP ruling on: August 12, 2023, 05:15:29 AM
@zasad@. The second quarter on 2024 is also when the halving for bitcoin occurs and after the trial if the jury rules a favorable verdict for Ripple, then it appears that the maker of the matrix really wants to give us a bull market hehe. Also if the date of approval of the spot ETF's are signed close to the date of a favorable verdict, I reckon we should ask ourselves if we are living a simulation hehehehe. Is it supposed to be as easy as this?
I think that the trial may be a little delayed and there will be no jury decision in the second quarter. SEC can hold out with a spot ETF's verdict before the bitcoin halving, but I have another question, how to get hamsters to sell bitcoins before the pump?
If your scenario is correct, then in autumn and winter there should be maximum negative on the crypto market so that hodlers sell cryptocurrencies, otherwise the pump will be unprofitable for the manipulator.

How long are these types of trials before a verdict is given? If it starts during the 2nd quarter and it continues for 3 to 4 months then the verdict might be know during the middle of the 3rd quarter or in the beginnng of the 4th quarter. This is okay. If the spot ETF is approved on 2024 close to the halving's date, this will pump bitcoin and the whole cryptospace will follow. However, similar to the excitment of hype in the news, the pump stops and the market begins to wake up to reality. I speculate that it will be a favorable ruling on Ripple that will make the cryptospace pump to all time highs again.

@OmegaStarScream. Similar to the questioning and the skepticism of him being a philantrophist, it should also be questioned if he is really a vegan heheheeh. I reckon the vegetarian community should investigate this. Sam's criminal actions can only be done by an aggressive meat eater.

Also, he is fat! I have never seen a fat person who only eats vegetables.

1067  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Top Crypto Execs Confident SEC Will Approve Spot Bitcoin ETFs on: August 12, 2023, 03:09:01 AM
Gensler's term as chair of SEC doesn't end until June 2026. So no chance for an ETF approval for at least 3 years. As we all well know, Gensler has been very anti-Bitcoin and anti-Crypto. There's no way he lets an ETF through. The talk of Blackrock's ETF getting approved is no different than talk of every other ETF over the past like 6 years getting approved. It's all hopium. Though unlike earlier attempts from years ago, we have a fervently anti-Bitcoin SEC head now so even the hopium is just pure fantasy at least for the next three years.

A couple top crypto execs saying something doesn't make it true. Top crypto execs have plenty of times in the past made completely absurd speculations. People should forget about this ETF stuff for now, we are years away from an ETF. I think it'll happen this decade, but it'll be 2027 or later.

However, you might have forgotten that uncle Gary also mentioned that everything in the cryptospace is a security except bitcoin hehehe.

Also, hopium? You might be underestimating Blackrock. I would never bet against them on not getting their application approved before Gensler's steps down as SEC chairman on 2026.



SEC Chair Gary Gensler reiterated that Bitcoin is not a security but a commodity under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) purview. He also stated that “everything else other than bitcoin is a security,” which has significant implications for regulating cryptocurrencies and digital assets in the United States.

1068  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: More Regulation Incoming! on: August 11, 2023, 05:17:09 AM
@zasad@. Agreed and it appears Paypal's entry in the stablecoin market might encourage other leaders in the traditional payment processor industry to create their own stablecoins also, which will certainly be enough to take away the influence of Tether and takeover much of the volume in the cryptospace market.

I have speculated that Tether might bring the crypto edition of the Big Short, however, should we really celebrate if Paypal and other traditional payment processors have taken over the stablecoin market? This might be a similar situation as Binance and the take over of traditional finance, the real criminals.
I have studied PYUSD.
https://coinmarketcap.com/community/articles/64d3a7987491e75ef9a15c6d

The prospect is very doubtful due to the risk of high fees for ERC-20 tokens. USDC capitalization has fallen by 30 billion over the past year because the crypto community does not trust the American regulator and companies. Tether looks more secure, but they will also have problems due to new regulations.

💩💩💩
https://twitter.com/pashovkrum/status/1688591468498239496


It might be why Paypal has entered the stablecoin market. They know stricter regulations are coming and uncle Gensler might begin cracking them down. We should research on Paypal's latest hirings in the legal department hehe. They might have hired exgovernment employees and experts in regulatory compliance. Also, with Paypal being one of the biggest and well connected companies in America, they might be exempted from uncle Gary's crackdowns because of fear of long legal battles that they might not win.

However, agree on ERC20 and high fees but this is very easy to fix, very much similar to Tether when it transferred from Omni to Ethereum and presently now in Tron.

Wolf - thanks for setting up the discord channel.  We have one for the bitcointalk league I run and it's a lot of fun having a place where we can chat freely without annoying the ever living shit out of moderators in this thread lol. 

Anyone have any drafts yet or start running mock drafts?  I had my one draft for my new keeper league, and have a ran a few mocks.  God damn I love NFL football season Smiley

I have joined some public mock drafts on Yahoo to get some practice with my cheatsheet on their platform. Some of these top 10 wide receivers and running backs are concerning. They might not be as high as how they are ranked because of injury. However, I might be wrong. My compute cluster of gameboys might be malfunctioning hehehe.

We only have 1 more month of waiting before the first week!

@DireWolfM14. I will be sending payment and create a discord account later.
1070  Economy / Gambling / Re: BC.Game-🔴🔴🔴BET RED IN CRASH!🔴🔴🔴 Find More Unique Games! on: August 11, 2023, 03:36:53 AM
I cannot stop laughing hehehehe.

Has anyone also noticed that there is always a scam accusation in 90% of the threads of every casino trying to promote their business in the forum? Many of the scam accusations are also started by new accounts. This is head shaking. The skeptical me would think that these people are hired and funded by fiat sportsbooks and casinos to spam and attack gambling services that are native to the cryptospace.
I cannot either.
This guy created this account to post about it. He even published in the Bangladesh Local thread that the BC game is a scam and asked others not to play there without understanding that JB is playing money and it cannot be withdrawn. If someone has any currency in the Bc game balance, it also shows in fiat like USD or other currencies. If that coin does not show, anything means it is worthless.

Sometimes we have to see such scam accusations while nothing happened, and the accuser acts like this is the end of the world. Look at his writing style. He used Capital letters to get the community's attention while proving himself DUMB.

It has been seen many times... and we will continue to see it. That's why I don't think we should pay much attention to them, especially when they base their claims only on their own words.

It would be foolish to say anything about this dumb post about JB... he is only a "weak version" compared to those who base their claims on a couple of screenshots that prove absolutely nothing. Smiley

PS... you can see the time, deposit, and withdrawal in minutes. Sometimes luck is on our side...




It is also one of the very few sportsbooks in the cryptospace that accepts all deposits in Fantom, Avax, Solana, Atom and Near for faster transactions and withdrawals. Others are not very open on their coin selections and only accept the older cryptocoins.

In any case, congratulations on your win! What did you bet? I would be nice of you to share some betting tips and tactics hehehe.

1072  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Top Crypto Execs Confident SEC Will Approve Spot Bitcoin ETFs on: August 11, 2023, 02:34:02 AM
It never dies because there are pending applications on it. My question was on the ETF storyline, if it is very much alive or dying. There was a small pump which has recently occured and I wanted to know if it might be the beginning of a much bigger pump based on if the ETF storyline is alive or dead. Also, it is another chance to laugh at the clown with the Luna tattoo ehehehee.

I didn't misunderstand Smiley I was referring exactly to the ETF storyline, hence why I referred to 2017 which was the start of the storyline. It should have died many times but media and people seem to think it's still worthy of ressurection lol

I promise you, just as with every ETF application or storyline, there will be no big pump after approval Smiley

I agree that hyping the storyline is not a certainty in pumping the price. However, I very much disagree on the speculation that there will be no pump after approval. Do you remember CZ's billion dollar twap on March 12? There will be several of these billion dollar twaps once the SEC approves all of the applications of Blackrock, Fidelity, Vanguard, Ark Invest and the others. The pump on bitcoin will melt faces.
1073  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jake Paul Vs Nate Diaz boxing Aug 5th on Dazn PPV on: August 10, 2023, 04:59:15 AM
@rdbase. Logan Paul is only doing this to hype himself. He certainly knows that Conor will never go below to his level in pay per view earnings. It was different with Nate vs. Jake because Nate knew that a fight against Jake would give him his biggest purse of his career. This is not the same for Conor. Conor has already received his biggest career earnings from the fight vs. Mayweather.

Also, I speculate that we might witness Conor's next fight in bare knuckle boxing. There are some rumors in social media saying that Conor wants to be an owner of BKFC. He might use himself as owner, promoter and athlete to market the promotion hehehehe.
So he is seeing the benefits of actually owning the fighting establishment rather than staying with the UFC being Dana White's payday.
Was watching a recent interview with the UFC owner last week and he was praising Conor saying how he was the most successful fighter who made him and his organization the most money in it's history to date.
Will be quite interesting if Mcgregor takes his circus show on the road with the BKFC instead of staying with Dana and the UFC since that is the only way he knows.
Just curious, what label was the Mayweather bout fought under? As it was quite a while ago so don't recall and too busy to do a search atm.
Didn't realize it is still recognized as the single biggest earnings of his career since his PPV bouts were selling monstrous numbers back then.

It was a promoted by 2 boxing promotions companies. Uncle Dana's Zuffa Boxing and Al Haymon's Premier Boxing Champions. It was also speculated to be the beginning of Dana White's career as a boxing promoter after he has sold the UFC for $4billion, including 10% of his own shares in the company on 2016. Mayweather vs. McGregor was promoted 1 year after on 2017. However, after Conor's loss, Dana White stopped promoting in boxing and would never allow other UFC fighters to also fight in boxing.

BC GAME IS A SCAM SITE.

I OPENED A ACCOUNT ON THE SITE AND I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACCUMULATE MORE THAN A MILLIOM JB TOKEN ON BCGAME BUT WHEN I TRIED TO WITHDRAW THEM THEY REFUSED TO PAY ME.


I RUM A BLUG SITE AND IF YOU REFUSE TO PAY ME MY JB TOKEN I WILL WRITE SCAM AGAINST YOU AND DAMAGE YOUR REPUTATION.


STAY AWAY FROM THE SITE THEY ARE SCAMMERS.

No need to use capslocks and JB tokens are just an in-house token without any value. If you have a high enough vip level, you can use it to cover your withdrawal fees but otherwise you just use it to test out the games. So they are not scamming you in any way.

I cannot stop laughing hehehehe.

Has anyone also noticed that there is always a scam accusation in 90% of the threads of every casino trying to promote their business in the forum?

This is the beginning, a group of people in congress might write a bill that will create a framework for the government to make stablecoin issuers as the caretakers on cashflow that goes in and out of the cryptospace. This has been speculated since last year and there is no reaction from the community until it will be noticed that the faucet of liquidity is being manipulated.



Leading Democrat Maxine Waters voices concern about PayPal stablecoin

Leading House Democrat Maxine Waters says she is “deeply concerned” about PayPal’s move this week to launch its own stablecoin without having a federal framework in place to regulate the asset.

“PayPal, with 435 million customers globally, exceeds the number of online accounts at all of the megabanks combined,” the California Democrat said on Wednesday in a statement. “Given PayPal’s size and reach, Federal oversight and enforcement of its stablecoin operations is essential in order to guarantee consumer protections and alleviate financial stability concerns.”

I guess it never dies because people keep posting about it? Remember in 2017 top banking and top crypto execs said the same thing about ETFs and guess what it's now 6 years later and they're saying the same thing.

Some of these guys make a living from selling quotes, so don't be too dependent on what they say. They're paid to do so Wink

It never dies because there are pending applications on it. My question was on the ETF storyline, if it is very much alive or dying.

Also, it is another chance to laugh at the clown with the Luna tattoo ehehehee.

You might also be correct. It has been 6 years and uncle Gary might have never read the applications. It appears I was also correct in my first assessment. Cryptonews media are using old storylines from 2020 and 2021 to dump on us because they have nothing new to write.

News update.

It appears that the SEC has officially made their appeal on the Judge Torres' ruling that XRP is not a security.



The US Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) will appeal the ruling that Ripple XRP is not a security, according to a filing by the commission.

The official appeal reads:

Specifically, the SEC seeks to certify the Court’s holding that Defendants’ “Programmatic” offers and sales to XRP buyers over crypto asset trading platforms and Ripple’s “Other Distributions” in exchange for labor and services did not involve the offer or sale of securities under SEC v. W.J. Howey Co., 328 U.S. 293 (1946).”


Source https://watcher.guru/news/us-sec-will-appeal-judge-ruling-that-ripple-xrp-is-not-a-security


Ripple did not make an official response, however, their Chief Legal Officer shared his thoughts on social media.



The SEC does not have the “right” to appeal just yet which is why they are asking permission to file an “interlocutory” appeal. Ripple will file its response with the Court next week. Stay tuned.

Source https://twitter.com/s_alderoty/status/1689400889046667264



In any case, I predict the judge to make another favorable ruling for Ripple. This might be another chance to make a trade on another XRP pump hehehehee.

@Abiky. I very much agree. NFT's hype presently might be over, however, similar to altcoins, tokenization and DeFi, it is clearly not over for NFTs.

I speculate if gaming companies can find where they can collect much of their profit, NFTs in gaming might make a big recovery. However, only the new projects might takeover. The old play to earn games like Axie Infinity might not return to the 2021 all time highs we have witnessed.



Many traditional or “Web2” video game studios around the world are developing new games that leverage blockchain networks, cryptocurrency, and NFTs. Some of the game industry’s largest studios globally are exploring blockchain games, with appetites spanning across genres and platforms—from PC shooters to mobile games and multiplayer metaverse worlds.

And a majority of the game publishers on this list are headquartered in Asia, with just a few Western firms in the mix—a dominance that echoes DappRadar’s prediction that Asia could rule the Web3 gaming space.
